Uniden PRO510XL Pro Series 40-Channel CB Radio. Compact Design. Backlit LCD Display. Public Address. ANL Switch and 7 Watts of Audio Output. Unique PLL Circuit. S/RF LED Meter. , Black

This is a good, compact, sturdy radio. Got this for my new jeep after running Cobra 75s in my others for several years. Theres nothing wrong with the Cobras, I have a glowing review on here of them too I think. This time though space wasnt as big of a concern and I just dont use the extra features that much. Its still super-compact and fits nicely in a lot of nooks. Mine ended up above the rear-view mirror.

Got one for my Jeep and I have no complaints. Works well, install is easy as it could be. Be sure to pick up an SWR meter if you dont already have one.

I have used the Uniden pro510xl CB for a could of years now, mostly at work. I needed a good cheap CB Radio and this was my choice. Of course it gets a lot of feed back from power-lines, electronics, and other things, but for its price and size/options it is great. Id recommend this radio.

Item arrived on time in good condition was easy to install and works well.

Some off-roading friends of mine recommended, as a first time CB user, for me to buy this Uniden along with a good antenna. They were right, it is a spectacular radio and it appears the price on Amazon was the best around. They use 510 XLs for off-roading with ± a mile or so between them on the trails. Fresh out of the box, the quality of this Uniden is clear - clean, solid metal construction with robust knobs and cable connections. Bright LEDs on-screen, good squelch control, and clear led level indications as well. On the back, there is a connector for the antenna, red/black for power (with in-line fuseholder and fuse) and then an extra port for a Uniden external speaker. I would recommend the speaker for folks who mount the CB down low. I have mine mounted overhead so the 510 XLs built-in speaker fires down at us passengers... it is plenty loud enough for me in my diesel pickup and I dont even have to turn it up half way. But if you have yours mounted down low, the carpet may absorb the sound which makes the external speaker worthwhile - and they are not expensive at all. I plugged in the Uniden Pro 510XL unit in with a Wilson 1000 Mag mount base loaded antenna. The antenna is on my crew cab pickup roof, which makes for an excellent ground plane. Out of the box, I was up and running the first day I hooked it up. I could hear some conversations quite clearly, seemingly better than a clear telephone conversation. Of course, there is always chatter and conversations in-between folks talking if you are monitoring busy channels. Like any CB unit, the antenna (or antennas) makes all the difference. Most cars and pickups with an available flat mounting surface (trunk lid or roof) would do well with a Wilson brand antenna, other cars requiring side mount might accept a full whip well. Either way, get a good quality antenna and have a friend with an SWR meter help you tune it to maximize performance and avoid burning up your radio. I did not burn up my radio the first time without tuning, but with tuning I was able to bring the antenna right into the perfect safe SWR range. This is a highly recommended unit if you are just getting into CB, especially if you do not need all of the features of more expensive or complex units. The Pro 510 XL just gets the job done and does it well. Its a Rock Solid CB radio.

My second Uniden in my second Jeep. Perfect for a compact install. Video Installing a Rugged Ridge JK CB Mount Jeep Wrangler can be found with a full install and test. FLoridaJeepRides 1995Wrangler and JeepWranglerThings thanks you.

Work great

For the money its hard to beat.

So far, so good. Got the unit set up this afternoon, & reached out about 11 miles with first contact. This is from the house, with a boat antenna on a mast over the house. (Yes, it is a CB antenna). Im fairly impressed for the $$.

These are pretty much the best radios you can buy. They are compact and can be fit between the seats. Have a Wilson 2000 on mine and pick up all around the country and can hear truckers from 10 miles away
